Kit Features & Gimmicks

- Head canopy can be opened.
- LED unit is provided for the light-up gimmick in the head. Two LR41 button-type batteries are required (sold separately). Head unit needs to be removed to switch the light on/off.
- Panels on top of the chest can be opened to act as support pedestals to prop up the cannons.
- Cockpit hatch on the torso can be opened.
- Chest vents can be opened/closed.
- Low recoil cannons can tilt up/down. Internal spring mechanisms allow the cannons to simulate firing/recoil.
- Missile Launcher barrels can be extended/retracted (simulating firing/recoil) by rotating the middle part of the forearm.
- The height of each continuous track unit can be adjusted via a dial on the respective outer side. A hatch needs to be slid down to access the dial.
- Each continuous track unit can be angled outward (along the horizontal plane) and tilt slightly (along the vertical plane).
- Stabilizing outrigger unit (front) and inclined ramp (back) located on the lower body can be deployed.
Tips & Tricks
- For better results, some/most of the details are needed to be applied and panel-lined with Gundam Markers.
- Top coat (Mr. Hobby recommended) can be used to protect applied decals, if any.
- If using matte/flat-finish top coat, it is advisable not to spray on the clear/translucent parts - can be done by masking or spraying top coat while the said parts are separated.
Notes & Trivia
- The docking gimmick utilizes the system used for the MG RX-78-2 Gundam (Ver. 2.0).
